Kauai grand jury indicts man for meth trafficking

A man was indicted by a Kauai grand jury last week for meth trafficking and other criminal offenses.

Police found 35-year-old Kanbert Alapai with more than 100 grams of methamphetamine, more than 120 grams of marijuana, and paraphernalia including three glass pipes with residue, a lighter torch, rolling paper, two scales, over twenty small plastic bags containing white crystalline substances, and $3,308.00 in small bills.

Alapai has a history of convictions for felony forgery and criminal contempt of court.

If convicted, Alapai could face up to twenty years in prison with a mandatory minimum prison term of two to eight years with no probation.

Scientists agree that the Earth has been warming due to human-induced climate change, and as temperatures continue to rise, an increasing amount of severe weather events are expected to occur. Hawaii has already been seeing some of the impacts, researchers say, so how can the state prepare for more severe effects in the future?
